Indigenous Brazilians won a landmark court case



A community of Brazilian Indians has won a land rights case at the nation’s supreme court that could have repercussions for indigenous people across the country.

The court ruled that a 2014 judicial decision cancelling the return of ancestral territory to the Guarani community must be revisited because the Guarani were not involved in the process. Now they must be given a fair hearing before the court votes again on the return of their territory.

Survival International, a charity, says the ruling could have implications for other communities whose lands have been stolen. “This is a stunning victory for a group of people who have been relentlessly persecuted for decades but never stopped fighting to recover their land,” said the charity’s research and advocacy director Fiona Watson.

Though the ruling was welcomed as positive news, Survival International said the likelihood of the Guarani getting their land back anytime soon was “remote”, as it is under the control of a powerful politician. The government in Brazil stands accused of implemented policies aimed at opening up indigenous land to mining ranching and logging. The country next goes to the polls in 2022.

Amusing photographs from Germany show the man running after the animal to try and claim the plastic bag back.
But the cheeky boar and its two piglets appear to be too quick for the sunbather, who can't keep up with their speedy little trotters.
As the incident unfolds, groups of friends and family sat on the grass watch on and laugh.
Heads are seen turning in surprise and amusement in the hilarious photographs.
The incident happened at Teufelssee Lake - a bathing spot in the Grunwell Forest in Berlin, Germany.

Lidl store builds glass floor to showcase 11th century Viking ruins



A Lidl in Dublin has attracted the attention of thousands of people on Reddit after a picture of the glass floor revealing an 11th century Irish-Viking house was shared

A Lidl in Dublin has stunned shoppers with a unique archeological feature that showcases the city's medieval past.

The store on Aungier Street in the city centre, which opened last year, has used glass panelling on the floor to display the preserved unique structure of an 11th century Irish-Viking house hiding beneath it.

After the site was discovered during excavations, it was heavily invested into by Lidl managers who were determined to protect the historical structures that would have been forgotten otherwise, reports Dublin Live.

From one glass panel shoppers can see the 18th Century Aungier Theatre staircase.

From one section of the shop, you can see the 11th century sunken floored structure.

And lastly, 18th century Longford Street Arches can also be admired from another aisle.

A picture of the store has received a significant amount of attention on a Reddit forum which boasts almost eight million members.

The post reads: "During the construction of a supermarket in Dublin, Ireland, archaeologists discovered the remains of a 1000-year-old medieval house.

"Rather than excavate the items and build on top of the site, the store installed glass flooring that provides shoppers with a literal window into history."

Since being posted, the post has racked up more than 20,000 upvotes and more than 200 comments from people.



One commenter joked: "The ghosts of that house are super confused."

Another person revealed: "We have something like these here in Slovenia! While building a supermarket, a road built by the Romans was discovered (about 4x1m) and glass-like was constructed. So while I'm shopping for veggies I get to look at them. Pretty cool."

A third added: "They just want to buy food but their glass ceiling is keeping them down."

House-hunters fall in love looking at property listing - but not with the home

A house listing has gone viral after people said they would buy the property in a heartbeat after browsing the online listing - on one very specific condition.

The three-bedroom house in Los Angeles, California, comes with a price tag of £1.27m for the 1928 "revived Spanish home" which has been completely renovated inside and out.

It features huge open-space living areas with modern fittings, a garden with a lawn and patio area, and a separate smaller building with its own address which could be used as an office, guest house or rental property.

And although the house sold itself for many people, others were more interested in an unexpected guest used to model the home in the listing on Zillow; Migo the dog.



The adorable corgi is photographed smiling as he pokes his head through the front door, posing on a kitchen counter and showing off the wooden floors in the living room.

It was shared to the Zillow Gone Wild Facebook page with the caption: 'Don't do this with your listings I can’t resist!!!' and it racked up more than 3,000 comments as plenty of people fell in love with Migo.

One said: "I would buy ONLY if the pup were included...non negotiable."

A second wrote: "Best real estate agent ever. I'll buy from that corgi every time."

And a third added: "Am I the only one disappointed in the pics that are missing the Corgi? The Corgi is the selling point of this house."

But anyone hoping to have Migo as a housemate will be left disappointed as the listing clarified that he would not come as part of the deal - but would be there to welcome you.

The description reads: "This 1928 revived Spanish home has been stunningly reimagined and sits on one of the widest streets in Picfair Village.

Fresh Sheets or Great Books? These Are The Top 50 Simple Pleasures That Americans Love the Most



Want to make someone’s day? It may be as simple as playing them their favorite song, or pointing out a newly blossoming tree to them.

2,000 Americans revealed in a poll that their top simple pleasure is hearing music they love. Seeing flowers bloom also made it into the nation’s top ten simple joys.

Others pleasures include sleeping in a freshly made bed, the feeling of the sun on your face, and going to the beach. Being somewhere new, watching a cherished movie, and seeing stunning views all feature too.

The research was commissioned by Small Luxury Hotels of the World, which also commissioned poet Laurie Bolger to come up with a piece on life’s simple pleasures.

The wordsmith said: “I wanted my poem to remind people about the feeling you get when you are able to enjoy life’s simple pleasures.”

“But on the other hand, I also wanted to highlight that the reason some of these things are so enjoyable is because they are a break from the norm.” Bolger added. “Feeling the sun on my face is definitely one of my favorite simple pleasures in life, and I’m glad the survey reflected that, and that we’re starting to see brighter weather too.”

Overdue library book returned to high school after 32 years



A high school in Britain said a former student mailed in an overdue library book that was originally supposed to have been returned 32 years earlier.

St. John Fisher Catholic High School in Peterborough, England, said a book called Manners Make a Difference arrived in the mail recently and officials soon discovered it had last been checked out from the school library 32 years earlier.

The book was accompanied by a note reading: "Sorry! Just 32 years overdue! Call it Catholic guilt."

The book, published in 1954, offers advice on how to behave at school, in church and other social situations.

Rosie Roe, the school's chief of administration, was the one who opened the package and identified its contents.

"It was a real surprise when I opened it and saw what was inside, I thought it's a real shame they didn't leave a name because I was at the school at that time and wonder if I know them," Roe told the Peterborough Telegraph.

School officials calculated the book would have accrued about $1,163 in late fees, but they don't intend to try to collect any money for the tardy tome.

Officials said the book is now considered outdated and will not be returned to circulation, instead going on display in the school's study center.

Restaurant Wants to Give Burglar a Second Chance – Offering Him a Job Application

When a suspected burglar broke into a restaurant in the early hours of a Saturday morning, the last thing they must have been expecting was a show of kindness from the owner.

Owner Carl Wallace is a special sort of person. When he found his restaurant’s front door smashed in, and surveillance footage of the suspect, he took to Facebook and offered his help to someone on the wrong course in life.

Diablo's Southwest Grill
2 days ago
Our burritos are such a smash hit we’ve got people breaking in at 4am for their fix. So if ya see our door looking hurricane fabulous at Wheeler Rd this is why.
To the would be robber who is clearly struggling with life decisions or having money issues... please swing by for a job application. There are better opportunities out there than this path you’ve chosen. My personal cell is 706-513-3557. No police, no questions. Let’s sit down and talk about how we could help you and fix the road you’re on. Sincerely Carl



While the thief has not yet come forward, Wallace’s act of forgiveness has since had him seeing lots of friendly faces at his Augusta, Georgia restaurant Diablo’s Southwest Grill.

“I thought [the Facebook post] was probably one of the best things that I had ever read,” customer Cher Best told WRDW-TV. “So as a result of what I read and the compassion… I wanted to support the business.”



So where did this compassion come from? A genuine belief that “love, kindness, forgiveness will always be a better solution than hate,” says Wallace.

A local woman is encouraging neighbourhood dogs to visit her front yard with a set up on par with Toronto's top cafes.

Kaya Kristina lives on Indian Road Crescent near High Park. She is the landlord and head chef of "StarPups Coffee" an exclusive fine dining experience located right on her front lawn.



Every day Kaya puts out treats, water and sticks for local dogs to enjoy for free during their walks. Of course, the manager Molly Meatlog (Kaya's dog) always keeps an eye out on the cafe through the window.

Through this Kaya has built a community of dogs and their owners, known as the High Park Pups on Instagram. When visiting her yard, people are encouraged to snap a photo of their pet which Kaya later reposts on the account.



Kaya told blogTO that this all started nearly six years ago.

"I noticed that some of the dogs coming home from the park looked thirsty and tired. So I put out some water and a sign that said 'for thirsty dogs' out by the sidewalk."

It was a hit and one owner even took a picture of their dog at the stand and left it in Kaya's mailbox. Since then, her house was the place to be for every dog in the neighourhood.



When COVID hit last year, Kaya said seeing dogs go by her house became a highlight of her day. Molly Meatlog also found great enjoyment in watching them.

This gave her the idea to put out more decorations and treats for the fellow canine neighbours. This included milk bones (a staple at Starpups) and an ever-changing selection of snacks like beef liver bites and dried chicken tenders.


Even cats like to come by Kaya's yard.

"I make sure to provide natural treats that are made in Canada, so people know what they are giving their dog is safe and healthy."

And these dogs can definitely taste the quality because they keep coming back.

"It's so cute seeing the dogs go by and pull their owners to my house for snacks. There are also dogs that refuse to move away from my house and it can be entertaining watching the owners trying to get them to walk again. Sometimes they have to pick them up and carry them off."



As she got more regular visitors her Instagram account began to grow. Now, this posse of High Park pups can be seen strolling along the streets, begging their owners to stop by Kaya's.

"Some of the owners even became dog walking buddies through the page. Not my dog through. She’s antisocial. She prefers looking from the window."



Because Kaya created something so special for the local pups, many of them have returned the favour. She often gets notes and beers from her neighbours as a thank you.

Unfortunately, not everyone is so kind Kaya explained.

"One day someone came along and stole my whole setup. I was super bummed about it. They even took my little recycling bin, water bowl, treat bowl and everything."

After posting about the situation to her Instagram, her fellow dog friends were quick to take action. She received cards, notes, photos and even some Pet Value gift cards to help her restock, and before you know it Starpups was back in business.


Some pups dressed up for their walk to pick up treats at Starpups on Halloween.

Since then she has continued to offer snacks, sticks and even goodie bags for special occasions like Halloween and Easter. With all of the positive feedback from both the dogs and their owners, Kaya is planning to continue her Starpups cafe as long as she can.

"I had felt so isolated all year with COVID and now I feel like I have an army of friends."

Service lets people post clothes to charity for free



Out with the old and in with the new – only it rarely works like that. How many unworn garments are abandoned to wardrobe-dwelling moths, or worse still, get thrown out with the rubbish? The answer: around 350,000 tonnes annually in the UK alone.

A new service aims to reduce that by giving online shoppers the option of sending pre-loved clothes to charity shops – for free. Launched this week, the service is operated by delivery firm DPD in conjunction with Asos, a leading online retailer.

The ReLOve initiative allows Asos customers to hand their old clothes over to DPD drivers when they deliver new items. The pre-worn clothes will then be sent to Scope, Marie Curie, British Heart Foundation, British Red Cross or The Children’s Society.

Though the service is a progressive step, environmentalists say the best way of reducing fashion’s footprint is by buying less and buying secondhand.

Biodegradable Food Wrap Created From Algae and Cinnamon Compound is the Packaging Solution We Needed
Apr 18, 2021*

Scientists from India and Russia have created edible food wrap for packaging produce, bakery, poultry, meat, and seafood.


Micheile Henderson

Designed to replace one of the most un-recycled materials on the planet, the wrap consists of natural ingredients that are safe for the environment and humans.

The research, which was published in the Journal of Food Engineering, describes three types of food films based on the well-known naturally occurring seaweed biopolymer sodium alginate—a compound found within the cell walls of brown algae.

“Its molecules have film-forming properties,” said Rammohan Aluru, senior researcher at the organic synthesis laboratory at Ural Federal University, and co-author of the paper. “The greatest advantage of sodium alginate is that it performs as liquid-gel in an aqueous medium.”

Alginate molecules were cross-linked with a natural antioxidant ferulic acid (a derivative of cinnamic acid), and the delicious combination makes the film not only strong, but also homogeneous, more rigid, prolonging the life of the products, say the scientists.

“Food stays fresh longer due to the antioxidant components that slow down the oxidation processes,” said Grigory Zyryanov, professor of the Department of Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry at Ural Federal University. “

And, the films are water-soluble and dissolve by almost 90% in 24 hours.

In addition, we can add to the films natural antiviral agents, which will also extend the shelf life of food. Garlic, turmeric, and ginger contain compounds that may prevent the spread of the viruses.”

According to the authors, no special equipment for the production of films is required. On an industrial scale, it can be created by food products and film manufacturers.


Seaweed algae by Peter Castleton

“It can also be produced at a polymer production plant. The only condition is that it must meet the standards that apply to food production. And if an inexhaustible source of algae in the ocean is nearby it will be quite simple to create such films,” said Grigory Zyryanov.

Joined by scientists from the Sri Venkateswara and Sri Padmavati Mahila Viswavidyalayam Universities in India, the research was supported by that country’s University Grants Commission and the Central Institute of Plastics Engineering and Technology, also in India.

Sodium alginate is a well-known edible biopolymer of natural origin used as a thickener and stabilizer, and ferulic acid (the derivative of cinnamic acid) has a wide range of pharmacological properties, in particular, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antitoxic, hepato- and cardioprotective, antiviral, and antibacterial ones, which is mainly due to the antioxidant properties of this acid.

Man names his newborn son ‘Department Of Statistical Communication’

An Indonesian man has named his son ‘Dinas Komunikasi Informatika Statistik’ (Department of Statistical Communication) in honour of his beloved workplace.

The 38-year-old man, Slamet ‘Yoga’ Wahyudi, who hails from the regency of Brebes in the Indonesian province of Central Java had reportedly agreed with his then-pregnant wife that if she gave birth to a son, he would be allowed to choose the newborn’s name, Dailymail UK reported.

After she gave birth to the baby boy in December last year, Wahyudi decided to name him ‘Department of Statistical Communication’ in order to pay tribute to his workplace.

He told local news site Kompas that his wife, 33-year-old Ririn Linda Tunggal Sari was on board with the decision with him. He was quoted saying that his wife did not mind despite the name sounded strange at first.

According to the report, friends and family of the couple, including their own parents, had voiced scepticism about the unorthodox name. Yoga reportedly accepted their concerns in good faith before deciding on the 38-character mouthful as his son’s name undeterred.

Yoga revealed the youngster will go by the more easily pronounceable portmanteau ‘Dinko’ in his day-to-day life in an apparent act of compromise.

Yoga has worked as a public servant for over a decade, entering the Indonesian civil service in 2009. He had previously worked as a radio announcer, though he later found his true calling in statistical communication.

Yoga told Kompas he hopes his son will grow up to be ‘pious’ and ‘devoted to his family’. It is not clear if the Indonesian authorities have accepted the unconventional name.

Wyoming jogger faces off with bear, viral video shows



The tension was un-bear-able.

A runner in Wyoming displayed steely courage when he talked down a large bear — rather than fend it off with repellant spray — that was pursuing him. A video of his harrowing encounter has gone viral online.

"This one was interested in me, so I had to change its mind," said Evan Matthews of his FBI-worthy negotiation skills.

The three-minute POV clip, which was shot on a road in Grand Teton National Park, shows a cinnamon-colored black bear rambling out of the woods toward the jogger. Things get hairy when the hangry animal comes within yards of Matthews, prompting the Teton Valley, Idaho, resident to yell at the critter and flash the can of spray.

"I’ve seen plenty of bears in the wild, but this was the first time one had shown any interest in me," exclaimed the nervous videographer. "He must have been extra hungry!"

Despite the danger, Matthews decided to forgo the weapon and instead opted to reason with the beast. "Hey — no! I don’t care if you’re hungry. I’m not your food" he can be heard shouting at the beast, which continues to advance. "Sure, we could take a walk if you want. You don’t get any closer, though."

Matthews’ verbal deterrent tactics initially seem to fail as the bear continues to pursue him down the road for about a half-mile. But the bear eventually loses interest and heads back into the woods.

"Well, now, that’s the first time I’ve been kind of run up on by a bear," he says with a small laugh. "That was exciting."

Trying to hold peace talks with a predator might seem foolhardy. However, Matthews "wanted to show that I was a human and not to be mistaken for another animal," he explained in the video’s description. The courageous outdoorsman added that he didn’t want to run or play dead, as that would paint him as "an easy target." Animal experts agree that the aforementioned methods are among the best ways to avoid a black bear attack.

Of course, the scenario is perhaps not as exciting as the case of this California man, who tackled and punched a 350-pound bear that was attacking his pet pit bull.

In this photo provided by Alaska Public Media, Carolina Tolladay Vidal displays custom
COVID-19 piñatas in her home in Anchorage, Alaska, on April 14, 2021.

When the coronavirus pandemic began last year, Carolina Tolladay Vidal’s pinata business in Alaska went to pieces — and not in a good way for a pinata maker.

“Many of the projects I had were moved to other dates,” she told Alaska Public Media last Friday. “Many were canceled.”

Tolladay Vidal had to find fresh ideas to rejuvenate her business and settled on making large, coronavirus shaped pinatas.

After Tolladay Vidal posted a photograph of a homemade coronavirus pinata on social media, the orders started piling up, she said.

“I think you really smash them and break them and hit them with meaning,” she said. “Because it has been tough for everybody.”

Rose Consenstein, age 8, said she felt like “beating the heck” out of a coronavirus pinata at her outdoor birthday party.

“I couldn’t see it, since I had a blindfold,” Consenstein said. “But I was just like, ‘I want to get you!’ ”

Tolladay Vidal started her pinata business about four years ago, after one of her daughters requested a pinata shaped like the character “Cloud Guy” from the film “Trolls.”

“I had looked in the stores in town. I looked online, and I didn’t find anything,” Tolladay Vidal said. “And I thought, ‘Well, you know, it shouldn’t be so hard to make up a pinata.’ ”

Tolladay Vidal had grown up in Mexico, spending years creating pinatas with her family.

“I have a memory of my grandma setting up all the grandchildren and helping her make a couple star pinatas with the seven points,” she said.

Rose Consenstein’s mom, Kate Consenstein, said the coronavirus pinatas were the perfect addition to her daughter’s outdoor, socially distanced birthday party.

“Coronavirus is the perfect villain for children,” Consenstein said. “They can really just simply understand that that is the thing that we want to defeat. There was so much cheering when it exploded.”
